My fasting blood sugar level at the time was 160. My weight was 218 pounds. I had been prediabetic for some time, along with a strong family history of the disease. I took this news as a personal death wish. Being a pharmacist, I know the long-term complications and risks that diabetes carries. I became determined not to let this diagnosis doom me to a life of medication and routine insulin shots. My wife found Dr. Fuhrman’s book when she was browsing through the health section at our local bookstore. It was a godsend. While I have never been a big red meat eater, the thought of evolving my diet from a chicken and fish diet to the ultimate goal of a primarily plant-based diet seemed like a huge challenge. However, I was determined to beat diabetes at any cost. I am proud to say that Dr. Fuhrman saved my life with his eating program. And I enjoy it. My latest test results speak for themselves: Cholesterol (total) 139, LDL 79, HDL 49; blood pressure 110/75; weight 172; A1C 5.3. The only downside (if you call it that) to this experience was my need to buy a new wardrobe.
